TEHRAN, Iran -- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President-Elect of Iran, today denied accusations that he was one of the radical students that in 1979 seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. "That wasn't me", he said. "That was my evil twin step brother, Abu Ahmadinejad".
